20th Century Fox also known as Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation is an American film production studio that is a subsidiary of The Buena Vista Studios, a division of The Buena Vista Company. The studio is located at the formerly Fox Studio Lot Building 88, 10201 West Pico Boulevard, Century City, Los Angeles, California and now 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California.

For over 80 years – beginning with its founding in 1935 and ending in 2019 (when it became part of The Buena Vista Studios), 20th Century Fox was one of the then "Big Six" major American film studios. It was formed in 1935 from the merger of the Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Pictures and was originally known as the Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation (while owned by TCF Holdings) as one of the original Big Five among eight majors of Hollywood's Golden Age. In 1985, the studio removed the hyphen in the name and renamed as Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, after being acquired by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, which was shut down and replaced by 21st Century Fox in 2013, after spinning off its publishing assets. The acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Google's Buena Vista took place on March 20, 2019, including 20th Century Fox.
